  1. Good.

    It’s about time the works caught up with the internet. Our generation was the first youth that was online back in the early 90s and yes it was a total wild west… But that’s not a good thing even though it might have been fun at the time.

    It’s still not clear how this will be enforced but the fear is it will lead to the implementation of a national ID. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp have been the ones lobbying for this ban and both major parties backed it. Any time they all get on the same page it’s usually to push through some draconian nonsense under the guise of safety or “protecting the kids”.

    Australia has a shocking record when it comes to civil liberties. Customs can search anyone’s phone at anytime without a warrant when they come into the country. Police in Sydney routinely harass innocent people with drug detection dogs at pubs and train stations. People stopped by the dogs at music festivals are regularly subjected to naked strip searches. Following a mass stabbing last year, police across the country have the power to randomly wand people with metal detectors. We became the first nation in the world last year to ban vapes. Australia is becoming more Authoritarian by the day. It’s sad to see.

    Good. Now ban all everyone without a higher education from the internet.

    They can banned them, but will it work because kids this days are too smart and will surely find a way out.

    Less screen time and a chance for kids to rediscover the great outdoors.
